PROCEDURE OF THE FEDERAL BOARD FOR VOCATIONAL 
EDUCATION IN THE VOCATIONAL REEDUCATION OF 
DISABLED SOLDIERS, SAILORS, AND MARINES. . 


The discharged soldier, sailor, or marine who ap¬ 
plies for reeducation under the Vocational Rehabilita¬ 
tion Law is treated throughout by the Federal Board 
for Vocational Education as a civilian needing advice 
and assistance; his choice of an occupation is ap¬ 
proved, unless, after careful investigation, sound opin¬ 
ion shows it to be in the end not advisable; he is 
trained to meet the needs of the occupation he has 
elected; he is urged to make the most of his oppor¬ 
tunity to overcome his handicap by taking the best 
available instruction; he is assisted in securing desir¬ 
able permanent employment when his training course 
is completed; and he is followed up after he goes to 
work until it is assured that his employment is satis¬ 
factory. 

Under section 2 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act, 
as amended July 11, 1919, “ every person enlisted, en¬ 
rolled, drafted, inducted or appointed in the military 
or naval forces of the United States, including mem¬ 
bers of training camps authorized by law, who, since 
April 7, 1917, has resigned or has been discharged or 
furloughed therefrom under honorable conditions, hav¬ 
ing a disability incurred, increased, or aggravated 
while a member of such forces, or later developing a 
disability traceable, in the opinion of the Board, to 
service with such forces, and, who, in the opinion of 

( 3 ) 



4 


the Federal Board for Vocational Education, is in 
need of vocational rehabilitation to overcome the 
handicap of such disability, shall be furnished by the 
said board, where vocational rehabilitation is feasible, 
such course of vocational rehabilitation as the board 
shall prescribe and provide.” 

Under section 3 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act 
it is provided “ that the courses of vocational rehabili¬ 
tation provided for under the act shall, as far as prac¬ 
ticable and under such conditions as the board may 
prescribe, be made available without cost for instruc¬ 
tion for the benefit of any person who is disabled 
under circumstances entitling him,, after discharge 
from the military or naval forces of the United States, 
to compensation under Article III of the said War- 
Risk Insurance Act and who is not included in section 
2 hereof.” 

To give effect to this law it is necessary to take th*e 
following six steps in each case: 

1. To establish whether the disabled person is eli¬ 
gible under the law for vocational rehabilitation. 

2. To establish whether he is eligible for vocational 
rehabilitation under section 2 or under section 3 of 
the vocational rehabilitation law. 

3. To determine the occupation for which he is to 
be trained. 

4. To determine the kind and nature of the training 
to be given and make the arrangements necessary to 
provide it. 

5. To place the man in suitable employment at 
completion of training.' 

6. To keep in touch with him until assured that he 
is satisfactorily employed.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR TRAINING UNDER SECTION 2 OF 
THE VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION LAW. 

At the military and naval hospitals, at the 14 dis¬ 
tricts and the subdistrict vocational offices, and the 
various centers within each district, representatives 
of the Federal Board interview disabled men who are 
about to be or who have been discharged from the 
Army and Navy. The first step is to determine 
whether or not the man is eligible for vocational 
rehabilitation. The disabled man who can meet the 
following conditions is entitled to vocational rehabili¬ 
tation under the Vocational Rehabilitation Law; 

(a) He must have been separated from the military 
or naval forces of the United States under honorable 
conditions since April 7, 1917. 

(&) He must have a disability that was incurred, 
increased, or aggravated while a member of such 
forces, or that is traceable, in the opinion of the 
board, to service with such forces. 

(c) His disability must, in the opinion of the Fed¬ 
eral Board, be of such a nature as to cause him to be 
in need of vocational rehabilitation to overcome the 
handicap of such disability. • 

(d) His physical and mental condition must be such 
as to make vocational rehabilitation feasible. 

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR TRAINING UNDER SECTION 3 OF 
THE VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION LAW. 

The disabled person who for at least a temporary 
period has been awarded compensation by the Bureau 
of War Risk Insurance but whose disability, in the 
opinion of the board, is not such as to make him eli- 


6 


gible for vocational rehabilitation under section 2 of 
the Vocational Rehabilitation Law as amended July 
11,1919. 

If such disabled person desires to claim the benetits 
available under section 3 of the vocational rehabili¬ 
tation law the Federal Board will pay for his in¬ 
struction and the usual expenses incidental thereto. 
It can not, however, under the law, provide for the 
maintenance and support of such persons or their 
dependents during the course of training. 

ELECTION OF COURSE AND TRAINING. 

Upon the establishment of a man’s service status 
in the military or naval forces and his eligibility for 
training he is assisted by a skilled vocational adviser 
in making a choice of the occupation for which he will 
train. This adviser, from his knowledge of the re¬ 
quirements and opportunities of the various occupa¬ 
tions, gives valuable counsel to the disabled soldier 
or sailor as to the occupation and the course best 
suited for him in view of his disability and all the 
other factors that enter into the choice of an occupa¬ 
tion. 

After the vocational adviser has assisted the handi¬ 
capped man to choose a suitable occupation, his case, 
with full information, is referred to the office of the 
district wherein the man makes his permanent home. 
Every case is there considered individually on its 
merits. 

In case it is impossible to determine the best course 
of vocational training for the man who is eligible for 
training under section 2 of the Vocational Rehabilita¬ 
tion Law, a try-out or preparatory course is provided 
for him in either a school or shop, where he has the 


7 


opportunity of testing a variety of work and can then 
make a choice of an occupation for which he desires 
to train. Every eft'ort is made to assist the disabled 
man toward that occupation in which he is most in¬ 
terested and for whicli, because of his aptitude and 
experience on the one hand and his handicap on the 
other, lie is best suited. In order to utilize previous 
knowledge and skill, the disabled man is advised— 
other things being equal—to pursue a course of 
training in the industry, business, or profession, in 
which he was engaged while in civil life. 

As a general policy, a handicapped man is not 
directed toward an overcrowded or a waning occupa¬ 
tion in which present or future competition might 
make permanent employment uncertain. In order, 
however, to realize fully upon the man’s interest and 
ability, he is given the fullest information concerning 
those desirable occupations in which, in the light of 
the best medical and vocational knowledge available 
he can, with his special handicap, successfully engage. 
The district medical officer assists in the vocational 
advisement of the disabled man. In addition, advice 
is also sought from those experts in the hospitals who 
have effected the man’s physical rehabilitation. 

The disabled man, with the approval of the board, 
may be trained in agriculture, commerce, industry, 
transportation, or the professions. The length and 
character of the course of instruction depends upon 
the requirements of the vocation, the ability and 
interest of the man, and his previous training and 
experience. 

Training is given in a variety of ways. The Federal 
Board utilizes the best educational institutions of the 


8 


country—the special schools for the education of the 
blind, deaf, and crippled, and the best technical, agri¬ 
cultural, academic and vocational schools and colleges. 
If a disabled man can not attend the regular classes, 
and needs special courses of instruction, the Federal 
Board makes special arrangements with the educa¬ 
tional institution involved, so that the man may re¬ 
ceive the training he requires. Placement training, 
or training “ on the job,” especially in those occupa¬ 
tions not yet regarded as being 'svithin the school or 
college field, is given in manufacturing establishments, 
industrial shops, offices, and on farms. In every case, 
however, the Federal Board requires the course of 
instruction to be adapted to the interests and needs 
of the disabled man, to be definitely planned for him 
as a learner, and- to be arranged for and approved, as 
well as to be inspected and supervised, by its agents. 

The length of the course of training varies greatly 
according to the ability, ambition, and handicaps of 
the man and to the skill and knowledge required for 
present and future success in the work itself. 

On completion of the course of training in the school 
or college a period of training directly on the job is 
given, if necessary, to enable the man to adapt him¬ 
self to the actual working conditions in the occupa¬ 
tion for which he has been trained. 

MAINTENANCE WHILE IN TRAINING. 

The Federal Board pays all the expenses incident to 
the course of training of men who elect to take train¬ 
ing under section 3 of the A'ocational Rehabilitation 
Law but does not pay for the maintenance and sup¬ 
port of the man or his dependents. 


9 


While a man is in training uiuler section 2 of the 
Vocational Uehahilitation Law, either at an educational 
institution or on the farm, in the office or factory 
where he is being trained on the job, he receives an 
allowance for the maintenance and support of him¬ 
self and his dependents from the Government. All 
his school expenses—tuition, laboratory fees, and 
books are paid for by the Board. For maintenance 
and support he receives $80 per month if he is without 
dependents; or if he has dependents, he receives $100 
per month, plus the additional amounts allowed for 
the dependents. When being trained on the job the 
man is paid the same for maintenance and support 
as if he were being trained in school. As a student, 
be it in an educational institution or in placement 
training, he has the same freedom as any other 
civilian. He is expected to pursue the prescribed work 
in a satisfactory way and to obey reasonable rules 
and regulations. Continued failure to do so can not 
but result in his dismissal. 

The Federal Board endeavors to secure training for 
a man at an institution or industrial plant as near 
his home as possible. 

PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT PROVIDED. 

Upon completion of the course of training the 
Federal Board assists the man to secure a permanent 
position where he can make tlie best use of the train¬ 
ing he has received. 

The aim of the board is always to direct the dis¬ 
abled man toward and to provide him with training 
for an occupation in which he can become as pro¬ 
ficient as the normal man. It must not be overlooked, 
169169°—20-2 



10 


however, that it mil not be possible for some of the 
most seriously disabled men to become fully compe¬ 
tent to earn the prevailing wage. Therefore, where 
a disabled man is unable, because of his handicap, 
to earn the full prevailing wage for his occupation, 
an adjustment in accordance with the rules and regu¬ 
lations of the establishment is made. Where working 
agreements are in effect between employers and em¬ 
ployees, the regulations thereof govern the procedure 
in adjusting such partial wages. Where there are 
no such facilities, the adjustment is made by con¬ 
ference between the man, his employer, and a repre¬ 
sentative of the Federal Board. It should be fully 
understood that the disabled man himself, as a free 
contracting agent, may in every case accept or reject 
any terms or scale proposed. 

The disabled man should, however, receive equal 
pay for equal work, and under no circumstances will 
a wage for a disabled man be approved by the Federal 
Board where it appears that decreases have been 
made because he is receiving a compensation for his 
injury from the Government. 

WILL SAFEGUARD HIS INTERESTS. 

As the official friend and adviser to the disabled 
man, the Board will keep in touch with him, through 
its representatives, for such period after he enters 
employment as may be necessary to complete, in each 
individual case, his reestablishment as a civilian 
worker. The Board will protect him against injustice 
or exploitation by the adjustment of difficulties, and, 
if need be, by aiding him through further training or 
assistance to secure other and more desirable employ¬ 
ment in the same or another occupation. 


11 

MAINTENANCE OF DISABLED MEN WHILE IN TRAINING. 

Prior to entering a receiving station to be tested 
as to his interest and abilities for different lines of 
work or to entering a regular training course, the 
man’s dependents are in no way entitled to support 
in whole or in part from the board. If they be in 
need or in distress the matter should be brought to 
the attention of the Red Cross. If for the purposes 
of carrying out the law under these regulations it is 
necessary to have the man travel to and remain at a 
certain point for a brief period the District Vocational 
Officers may issue him such meal (Form 507) and 
lodging (Form 508) requests as are necessary. The 
District Vocational Officer may, if deemed advisable, 
arrange with a hotel or a lodging house to care for 
men under investigation at a cost not to exceed $2.50 
per day for board and lodging, and when less than a 
full day $1 for lodging and $0.50 for each of three 
meals. 

While in training under section 2 of the Law, which 
includes men in Receiving Stations, the man is entitled 
to support and maintenance from the Board for both 
himself and his dependents. This training pay will 
be paid by the board directly to the man. The 
amounts so payable are prescribed in that part of 
section 2 of the act which reads as follows: “ Every 
person electing to follow such a course of vocational 
rehabilitation shall, while following the same, be paid 
monthly by the said board from the appropriation 
hereinafter provided such sum as in the judgment of 
the said board is necessary for his maintenance and 
support and for the maintenance and support of per¬ 
sons depending upon him, if any: Provided, however, 




12 


That in no event shall the sum so paid such person 
while pursuing such course be more than t$80 per 
month for a single man without dependents, or for a 
man with dependents $100 per month plus the several 
sums prescribed as family allowances under section 
204 of Article II of the War-Risk Insurance Act.” 

All disabled men in training under said section 2 
as amended shall receive, while following courses pre¬ 
scribed and provided by the board, the following 
monthly payments, depending upon the number and 
relationship of their dependents, the maximum sum 
payable to a man and his dependents, in any individ¬ 
ual case, however, not to exceed $150 per month.

ute to siich child’s support, and if such 
child, if horn after December 31, 1917, 
^ shall have been horn in the United States 

or in its insular possessions. 

2. The term “ grandchild ” means a child as above 
defined of a child as above defined. 

3. The terms “ child ” and “ grandchild ” are lim¬ 
ited to unmarried persons either (a) under 18 years 
of age, or (&) of any age, if insane, idiotic, or other¬ 
wise permanently helpless. 

4. The term “ parent ” includes a father, mother, 
grandfather, grandmother, father through adoption, 
mother through adoption, stepfather, and stepmother, 
either of the person in training or of the spouse. 

5. The terms “ brother ” and “ sister ” include broth¬ 
ers and sisters of the half blood as well as those of 
the whole blood, stepbrothers and stepsisters, and 
brothers and sisters through adoption. 

Proof of the dependency of the persons for whom 
the applicant claims such a status must be secured 
before any amounts due the man in their behalf may 
be paid. All persons undergoing training under sec¬ 
tion 2 of the Law will be presumed to be single and 
without dependQnts until satisfactory evidence to the 
contrary has been filed with the board and will ac¬ 
cordingly be paid $80 per month until such evidence 


16 


has been so filed. Upon the filing of such evidence 
regarding dependents, such additional training pay 
as may be found to be due will be paid from the date 
training was commenced if persons named as de¬ 
pendents were dependent at that time. Additional 
training pay found to be due on account of a change 
in family conditions occurring after the date on 
which training was commenced will be paid from the 
exact date of such change. All persons who glaim 
training pay on account of persons’ dependents at the 
time of the commencement of their courses, or, on 
account of a subsequent change in family conditions, 
must submit a verified statement regarding such de¬ 
pendents as prescribed by the board on Form 544 Rev. 
with such evidence in support thereof as may be re¬ 
quired. 

No deduction in the training pay from the Federal 
Board to the disabled man being trained on a job will 
be made because he earns in addition some wage inci¬ 
dental to his work. 

While in training under section 3 of the Law the 
man will receive no training pay from the board. He 
will, however, receive free of cost such instruction as 
may be prescribed by the board as well as the books 
and supplies which the board considers necessary for 
the purposes of such instruction. Such payments as 
, may be due him from the bureau will not be affected 
in any way by the fact that he is receiving training 
under section 3 of the law. 

With reference to the payments wlfich the man may 
receive from the bureau while in training under sec¬ 
tion 2 of the Law, the following should be noted: 


17 


(a) Only in the cases where the amount of com¬ 
pensation due the man from the Bureau is in excess 
of what he would be entitled to from the Board can 
the bureau pay anything in the form of compensation 
either to the man or his dependents during the period 
the man is in training. In such cases—chiefly the 
blind and those otherwise totally disabled—the Bureau 
pays such an amount as may be necessary to make the 
total amount received by the man and his dependents 
equal to the amount that would be due them from the 
Bureau if the man Avere not in training. 

(&) Such amounts as may be payable to the man 
or his dependents under the insurance clauses of the 
war-risk insurance act are not in any way affected 
by the man’s relationship to the board. 

(c) The fact that the bureau must cease making 
compensation payments to the man and his depend¬ 
ents as from the date on which he enters his training 
under the board, and the fact that the bureau must 
begin again to make such payments as the man and 
his dependents may be entitled to as from the date 
oil which he completes his training under the board 
and is dropped from its pay roll, makes it necessary 
for the board to inform promptly the bureau as to 
the exact date on which each man starts his course 
and the exact date on which he has completed the 
course of training prescribed. 

All disabled soldiers, sailors, or marines, whether 
in or out of the hospital, should address their com¬ 
munications either to the Federal Board for Voca¬ 
tional Education, Washington, D. C., or to the district
